Head-space gaschromatography, a quick and simple method to screen adsorption capabilities of porous materials: adsorption of chlorobenzene on modified montmorillonite

The results from the adsorption of chlorobenzene on cation exchanged, Al-pillared and organically modified montmorillonite have shown that head-space gaschromatography is a very simple and powerful tool to screen a large number of porous materials for their usefulness as possible adsorbents. This method allows the analysis of the adsorption capability directly from suspension without separating the fluid from the solid adsorbent.
